This is a new ebuild for buildbot. Buildbot is a build/testing system to automate compilation and test runs of source code. Written in python, it's a powerful but simple alternative to tinderbox.
Created attachment 86604 [details] The ebuild First revision of the ebuild. Maybe a bit too verbose, if a native english speaker could shorten the text a bit it'd be nice.
Created attachment 86605 [details] init.d script for buildbot Simple init.d script to start one or more buildbot masters/slaves. I found no other way to set the variables for HOME and so on to make it work. Passing them using start-stop-daemon -e didn't work when I tried, after a build started these variables were overridden by the ones from the shell the script was started in, resulting in failure.
Created attachment 86606 [details] sample conf.d configuration file
I would like to have this in Portage!
Thanks for the ebuild. Just committed dev-util/buildbot-0.7.4 with some changes: removed the pkg_config: imho this is not worth it since you will have to edit the generated files anyway and running the "buildbot" tool directly is not harder than the emerge --config is. Also limited the init script to a single instance: if you want more than one just symlink or copy the script, which has the benefit you can restart them separately. Closing this bug, please file a new one if there are problems with the ebuild.
